C-CARD

What is the C-Card?

The C-Card is a card that gives people quick and easy access to free condoms. This service is available to anyone aged 13 or over in Staffordshire, Shropshire, Stoke-on-Trent, and Telford and Wrekin.

It is a confidential service which also offers information and advice about sexual health and relationships.

If you are thinking of having sex or are having a sexual relationship, registering for a card will mean you always have access to free condoms.

How does the C-Card work?

The C-Card allows you to get free condoms from a range of places e.g. some schools, colleges, shops, clinics, and pharmacies.

The card will not have any personal details on it like your name; it will only have a unique number on it. You can take your C-Card to any place where you see the C-Card logo and get your condoms without any questions asked.
